Project_CodaLab_FAQ
CodaLab is a web-based interactive computing environment that allows researchers to share and interact with code, data, and experiments, and to participate in online competitions. CodaLab is free and open-source (you can get the source code on Github).
CodaLab is aimed at researchers, scientists, and other professionals who want to further technology in their fields by hosting and/or participating in algorithm competitions, and by creating and collaborating in online experiments.
A competition consists of data for training and evaluating algorithms, and a program to evaluate participant results. CodaLab competitions provide an opportunity for researchers, developers and algorithmists to create solutions for problems across a wide range of domains, and advance the state of the art for their respective areas of interest.
An experiment is a special web page that lets you combine executable code (Python), text, mathematics, graphs and rich media all in the same document. CodaLab Experiments enable collaborative computational research to be done in an efficient and reproducible manner. By providing modularity, live execution, and inline annotation of code with rich explanations, CodaLab enables you to quickly sketch ideas and collaborate with fellow community members.
The CodaLab platform is built using Python, Django and Foundation.
Yes, you can host a CodaLab instance on a Windows Azure server. Some customization is possible as well. For more information, see Deploying CodaLab.
